DUI (St. Lucie County)

Facts: Our client came to us after being arrested for DUI. He had gotten up very early and ran 30 miles that morning. In the evening he met with some friends and had a couple beers. When driving home he fell asleep causing him to crash into a tree. When law enforcement arrived they had him perform field sobriety exercises despite him having been in an accident. He was ultimately arrested and required to submit to a breath test at the jail. He blew below the legal limit so law enforcement requested he provide a urine sample, which he did. We filed on the case right away and chose not to waive arraignment, instead we attended the arraignment and set the case for trial immediately, without waiving speedy trial. The state was forced to drop the case because they did not have enough evidence to prove that our client was under the influence. Our client never had to appear in court and he will keep his clean record.

Results: Charges Dropped
